Byggmark gone for season

It was not good news for Sweden’s Jens Byggmark. The team was waiting test results on Byggmark after a training crash at SaasFee. The slalom ace was airlifted to hospital, but no MRI was available. He was then flown to Stockholm for further evaluation. He tweeted the result was a “broken ACL” and rehab time was set at six months.

In memoriam: The veteran of the staff, McKee started with Ski Racing in 1980. Over the seasons, he covered virtually every aspect of the sport, from the pro tours to junior racing, freestyle and World Cup alpine competition. He wrote the first national stories for many U.S. team stars, and was still around to report on their retirements. “Longevity has its rewards,” he said, “but it’s a slow process.”
